[libreoffice-website] Fw: Re: Valid site to download?

2015-01-04 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi website list,

the below discussion from the AOO project I think is good advise -

TL;DR:
 - have an occasional eye on the first few google hits for
   'download LibreOffice'
 - have the most important landing pages (main page, download page)
   contain 'Official page' (and the corresponding translations for
   localized sites) in the page title, so google displays it
   prominently
 - and as a corollary, possibly the videolan project has a few more
   scam prevention ideas for inspiration ;)

Hi Andrea,

Yes, its still the first result!! Thank goodness!!!
One suggestion is to make the headling for the search result to include
Official page, instead of small print.

An example would be VideoLAN. When I did a search for vlc, the words
Official page for VLC... is clear. So people would be highly unlikely to
go for the next few download sites.

Thinking...

 Being the 3rd search result means that many people would have downloaded
 from it.
 Is this a valid site to download?


 The only official site is http://www.openoffice.org (which, I hope, comes
 as the first result!).

  Or is this a scam to promote a malware-tainted copy of openoffice?


 We don't know. That site is not affiliated with the OpenOffice project and
 we cannot know what it offers. Always use the official site. See

 Good catch. We did it, for example, for the Italian site
 http://www.openoffice.org/it/
 but indeed not for the English one
 http://www.openoffice.org/
 
 I hope someone can soon fix it, unless there are SEO (or other) concerns.

we have done this already with the download webpage [1] as we thought
the people searching for where to download OpenOffice. So, the search
result is reflecting this already [2] with the first rank.

However, to do this also with the initial homepage [3] is a good idea
- especially when the search doesn't include the download term. ;-)

I'll take care about this.

Hello Thorsten,

Indeed, good idea. I'll try to see where we can insert these words but
others are welcome to do so.

Best,

Charles.
